Before the next flood/disaster
Here is a recorded PowerPoint presentation from Scott Gabbard, Shelby County, IN. The Shelby County office of Purdue Extension became very involved in the response and recovery to floods and storms of 2008. His experience and post-disaster comments will help any Extension educator/agent plan for the next flood or disaster.
